which it is intended.

The invention broadly consists of a cap which is fitted on the neck of the bottle in such a manner as to provide an air-tight joint and in providing saidcap with means for clamping thebrush therein.

The invention is illustrated by a view in vertical section, and referring thereto 1 designates a bottle or mucilage-jar the neck 2 of which is formed with an annular ledge 3, above which is a protruding angular face 4, substantially triangular in cross-section. Resting on the ledge 3 and fitted around the angular face 4 is a V-shaped gasket 4, which by virtue of its upper inclined face forms a broad compact surface for the sides of the cap 5. respond with the inclination of the gasket, so that a tight joint is provided.

The cap 5 has its sides inclined to correspond with the inclination of the upper portion of the gasket and is provided with a central perforation 6. This perforation is inclosed by an upwardly extending screwthreaded boss 7, also perforated at its center and having at its top an annular flange portion 8, extending inwardly to a suitable dis- Specification of Letters Patent.

tance to provide a seat for the clampingwasher9. which is preferably made of rubber or other suitable expansible material suffieient to expand circumferentially on the flangeseat 8 of the boss when a clamping cap or screw 10 is engaged with the threads of the boss.

Thehandle ll of the brush is of such diameter as to loosely play through the openings in the nut 10, the clamping-washer 9, boss 7, and the aperture 6, and thus when the clamping-cap 10 is unscrewed to release the grip of r the washer 9 the brush may be adjusted vertically Within the jar, so as to bring the bristles at the proper position for immersion in the mucila-ge; but after the brush. has once been clamped in place it is permanently held in such position, so that when the cap 5 is removed from the jar either by taking hold of the handle of the brush or the cap or the clamping-nut, all parts remain intact.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is

In a mucilage-bottle the combination of the neck having an angular ledge with a protruding angular face above said ledge, and a V- shaped gasket fitted around said angular face and resting on the ledge, a cap having its sides inclined to correspond with the inclination of the upper face of the gasket and engaging said entire upper face, and means carried by the cap for clamping the handle of a brush.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
